BJ and Bucher Podcast

The Best NBA Podcast You've Ever Heard

About BJ & Bucher

The BJ and Bucher Podcast is a weekly NBA show, hosted by 3x NBA Champion + EVP at Wasserman – BJ Armstrong, and Bleacher Report + NBA Radio radio host – RicBucher. Produced by Shaine Freeman, each episode is presented in the format of a real NBA basketball game, complete with “Four Quarters of Madness” and a halftime musical entertainment break.

During these four quarters you not only get to hear BJ and Bucher – sometimes joined by high profile guests – offer their own unique (oftentimes clashing) perspectives on important issues affecting the NBA, but you get to witness the high stakes 3rd Quarter NBA trivia challenge where it’s anybody’s game.
